The phrase "hecho de la piel del diablo" (literally, "made from the devil's skin") is a traditional Spanish expression used to describe a child who is extremely mischievous, restless, or naughty. It reflects a playful way of highlighting the child's boundless energy or knack for getting into trouble, as if their behavior were almost "devilish" in its intensity.
While the phrase isn't necessarily meant to be taken literally, it carries a mix of humor and exaggeration, common in expressions from folk traditions. It's not widely used anymore, but it has a charming, old-fashioned feel that evokes a time when vivid metaphors were used to describe personality traits.
